As of Monday, [June 23 2014] in a seven-two ruling, the Supreme Court decided to uphold the Environmental Protection Agency’s pursuit to issue the Clean Air Act (Liptak, 2014). The Clean Air Act proposed by the EPA aims to require “that carbon pollution be addressed in permits for large emitters, such as power plants and refineries” (Avi, 2014). The EPA, after receiving validation from none other than the Supreme Court, hopes to put into motion a set of legislative dominos.
